Sisal Rope Planter Brings A Bit Of Florida Home

Sisal Rope Planter Painted With Coastal Texture Paint

I made the sisal rope planter from a thrift store glass dish. I went with the coastal / nautical / beachy sisal rope planter design because it reminds me of Florida.

Sisal Rope Planter

I miss living in Florida. I miss the sunshine, the beach, the laid back atmosphere……and the thrift stores. They have the best thrift stores in Florida. Really. The yard sales and estate sales are the best too. Maybe I just feel that way because I’m longing for those Florida days, but I don’t think so. Do any of you have experience thrift/junk shopping in Florida? Maybe you could give me your take in the comment section below.

And you guys know how I’m addicted to sisal rope. A few months ago I promised no more sisal diy projects and I’ve stuck to the promise….until now.

The Coastal Texture Paint holds up to it’s promise. I just smushed on the thick paint to achieve the textured look.

I used my torture tool glue gun to adhere the sisal rope to the planter. I use these handy dandy forceps to help me when using hot glue. Saves the skin on my fingertips.

Pretty texture and I really did a good job getting the sisal rope on straight. Patting myself on the back.

I bought the Sago Palm at Lowe’s. We had several of these in our yard when we lived in Florida. The tag on the Sago Palm said “Plants of Steel” known for their Survival Skills. Perfect for me since I’m known for killing off anything green, indoors and out. Living in my space will be a good test of it’s survival skills.

I have to say this is one of my favorite projects. The clean fresh look of the sisal rope planter has me thinking Spring….and how soon can I get to the beach.

Really like the sisal planter. I would like to try this one. That plant will grow gigantic so be prepared to transplant it at some point. I have one in a huge pot. Wish it would live outside in our weather but I’m afraid the cold would get it.

My cats would love the sisal! We made them scratchers out of a plank of wood and a roll of sisal rope. They love them, and it’s better than them scratching at the doorways! One of them has become shredded, so it’s back to the drawing board or just turn it around to attach it back to the doorway. Because of the plethora of cats we have, I have to think twice about what I can use for decor!

Love that texture you added to the glass vase and the rope totally makes it coastal! Thanks for linking your project up with Funtastic Friday!
